Briefly

L.A. model lured victims through dating apps then stole from them, prosecutors say. Now she's headed to trial.
"At her trial, we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this defendant exploited trust built through online relationships to gain access to victims' homes and steal from them. Her ability to deceptively influence others, whether in person or online, has now come to an end."
"Between 2023 and 2025, Lavie allegedly used dating apps and developed relationships to steal from wealthy older men and younger women in Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills."
Adva Lavie, a 28-year-old model and social media influencer, faces charges including grand theft and residential burglary. She allegedly targeted wealthy older men and younger women in affluent areas. Lavie is accused of exploiting online relationships to gain access to victims' homes, stealing cash and luxury items. A judge has allowed the case to move forward, with Lavie scheduled for arraignment on April 6. If convicted, she could face over 11 years in prison.
